CityU’s response to disco night ‘misconduct’ an overreaction

Two adults, both at least partially dressed, took part in some harmless fun. Where is the crime in that?

One aspect of this case does merit further examination: the issue of consent. Who among those attending what was essentially a private gathering consented to be filmed? Who among the students present at the event thought it was acceptable to film proceedings at a closed function and release the footage to social media?

If anyone is to be disciplined in this case, it should be that person, for intruding on the privacy of fellow students, betraying their classmates’ trust and perhaps tarnishing the reputation of the institution.
